JnC,

I'm really interested in the Blacked out V2 (07-08 base TL) with Carbon fiber inlays. I'm also local (Waltham), so I was hoping to be able to meet up to have this done. I know you are busy with plenty other member orders, so I have no problem waiting. I also have no clue about the headlights...if I need to get anything for this to get done just let me know. Can I send a pm with my email so you can contact me when you have the chance? Thanks!

Lol, I still have my day time job/business which I cant quit regardless of how good the demand for my headlight/tail light modifying service is, I started this as a side hobby/gig and intend on keeping it that way.

Labor for blacked out/cleared is $150, LED install is $25 additional and CF is an additional $25 as well. You'd have to provide me with the LEDs.

^^ Hazing due to the temperature change, its not a leak as if it was then it wouldnt show up a year after the install

This happens even with stock headlights at times

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ght=headlights

After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused by
the temperature difference between the
lamp inside and outside. This is similar
to the condensation on your windows
inside your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle.

Can you change or add desiccant without opening the headlights again? Where can someone acquire desiccants?

JnC... is there a way you can put the angel eyes inside instead of outside? Or is that the onlyway it will only work. I have seen Ballinfizzle with it so I think it can be done although you know better than I do.

Been busy with the holidays, will update this thread soon with projects I took care of in the past few weeks, I am working on something similar lately so keep checking this thread for updates.

Here is a preview of a recent project, custom LED turn signal. I had made this for my TL but ended up installing it in a local Type S owner's headlights.




DeathMetal, replying to your email right now.
